As a non-dealer and just a casual observer of market trends...this may be a
good spot to mention how the integrity of one of the meteorite-world's most
trust-worthy members just went even further...."to the moon" ...above any
fathomable expectations.
Remember when the recent discussion surrounding the iconic TFL-SMOW release
of NWA5400 was pending O-tope analyses for potential pairings (welcome
NWA6077!)...
I was grandly shocked (an S5 for me) when he saluted those of us who
intitially recognized the rarity of such a meteorite. (For fun, I'm not
mentioning his name...but I bet a majority of you know to whom I refer...)
Yes, the market is changing...yet I never expected it to land in my PObox.
Here's to our passion! G., a Huge thanks (almost spelled it)....:)

Yes, most Moroccan dealers fail to realize the world economy is in the
worst
downturn since the great depression and barely showing signs of recovery.
For
example, they are stilling asking $10.00/gram for Eucrites when only
$5.00/gram
can be realized on eBay, even after suffering a cutting loss. In the end,
they
will find out how tough a market it really is. No amount of hype or press
will
bring the prices up on the open market. It is a supply and demand issue.
Maybe
once the stockpiles which are dwindling are exhausted the prices will go
back
up. Until then, I will be purchasing older U.S. finds which are priced
most
reasonably at a few dollars per gram.
Happy Hunting,
Adam
